Criminal Defense

Our attorneys have over 25 years experience in all aspects of criminal litigation. We are in a unique position to provide a comprehensive level of representation to our clients who are unfortunately among a growing number of students suspended from school based on conduct that is also referred to the police for investigation and prosecution. Barger & Gaines is also a leader in educating policy makers and the public about the over-representation of students with disabilities who are grossly over-represented in the juvenile and criminal justice systems compared to the general population.

In addition to providing this level of representation to our clients in an education context, our firm represents our clients in all aspects of criminal defense from investigation and arraignment through motion practice and up through trial in Family Court, County and Supreme Court.
